Essentials
At the start, go forward and climb up the first set of stairs to the right. Follow the path and flip the switch to the right within view. Take the teleporter to the left then go down the stairs in front and make a hairpin turn to the right. Approach the teleporter ahead to see an alcove containing the blue key to its right. Enter the teleporter to the right as you exit the alcove then go forward and climb up the stairs to the right. Turn right at the top of the stairs, then open the blue bars and collect the red key. Facing north, drop down to the floor to the left and climb up the stairs ahead. Open the red door in front and press the switch, then open the blue bars to the west and wait for the stairs to finish rising. Once it's done, climb them up and enter the teleporter to the left to exit the level.

Secrets

 * 1) After climbing the first set of stairs to your right (west), you will notice that a portion of the wall in front of you (north) is misaligned. Press it to find an energy cell, a medikit, three boxes of bullets, three boxes of shotgun shells, and four boxes of rockets (or two on skill 3). (sector 104) There's also an invulnerability on skills 1-2.
 * 2) The part of the northern wall east of the red door is fake and, like with the wall in secret #1, misaligned. Go through it to find a megasphere. (sector 109)
 * 3) The wall behind the blue key (southeastern one) is also fake and misaligned. Go through it to find a megaarmor. (sector 110)
